Another milestone in Afghanistan and there are a few hours left till midnight. Courtesy of

Read the numbers and get ready for another ride of enduring death courtesy of a host of many. Well are you proud of your country? Well are ya you nit wit fucktards?? Are you proud of the shape we are in as a nation. I suppose you are and that's special for you I know. Now every one of you go fuck yourself and the lame dick horse you rode into town on. I've got no time for none of you or what you think is good for me and my country not yours asshole!

People on our side have issues as well we all understand that but not like these people on the right who lie at will. It really becomes disgusting after so much of it.

If we had a press with any integrity they would rip this piece of shit so wide open he would give up his bid for office. Then maybe another would step up to the plate who would maybe be half as bad and we would all be better off.

WTF are these people thinking when they lie as they do? I couldn't even consider doing that but most of these human pieces of crap on the right do just that and are allowed to get away with it most of the time.

Thanks to our side for giving them passes so a lie becomes the truth more often than not.

We'll stand down when they stand up or some dumb ass shit like that for years and never fucking ever did any of ours stand down when it came to training Iraqi's. Now the samo or basically the samo for Afghanistan.

And our congress sits there and laps this shit up. After all they are primarily in the war business and they relish that no matter what they say or they would get us the hell out of these situation where even a fucking idiot knows there is no viable threat.

Our country is so goddamn stupid. The threat we face is the gusher in the gulf and the dumb bastards want to drill more.

The important statistic to me is this- Produced water extracted along with natural gas and frac water used in the drilling process were the most common substances spilled. They accounted for nearly half of the spills, 461, and about 85 percent of the amount.

This fracturing process is insidious and should be outlawed for several very important and common sense reasons. It won't be of course because just like other things in government it's the oil company's that tell our leaders what to do and the elected ones get down on their knees willingly to give them just what they need on a regular basis.

I came back early. The last night out camping over Memorial Day weekend there were very small black flies around. Bigger than no see-ums but small. About three days later realized I got the shit bit out of me and this was a major pain in the ass and took the better part of three weeks to go away.

They were around this time too having grown up a bit and even with repellent it became apparent I still got bit. Just bagged it for staying out the second night and just didn't care to get bit anymore because the six to eight that I'm well aware of so far have been a pain all day and if it's like last time they're here for two weeks anyway. I'll be back there before too long and they will be gone.

Had my eyes open today and happy that I saw these orchids in what is a very small area. Went for several hikes two of which were up box canyons where in one these flowers were found and another with numerous panels of rock art. Some of those pictures will get put up at the Picture Place.

Wasn't going to but am now. As soon as I can throw the stuff I need into the Element I'm headed west for the weekend staying somewhere around Rangely tonight and probably somewhere in that area Saturday. It's very warm out and want to make the most of this while I can. It is my hope interesting things are found again.

The best to all of you-have a good weekend and thanks for stopping by OTC. Be back on Sunday afternoon sometime.

I thought this was a done deal a while back but apparently not. Hell it may even be a request for more.

Send these guys to fetch a bunch of BP biggys and make them work on cleaning up the environment and the animals that may still have a chance to live.

Always more guns and tools for oppression on this war front and never a discussion from those in the know who carry badges that understand that to end this conflict there must be some form of legalization.

We need an end to this decades old conflict and we need it done badly.

The best to all Father's out there and I know most of you hold your children very close to your heart. Here is one of my favorite pictures of my Dad taken in France in 1945. Enjoy your day.

FROM LAST YEAR

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there. I am not one and my dad is gone so the best to all of you guys out there. I bet my blogger friends who are fathers have some great kids. I miss my dad!

FROM '08

This is the first Father's Day I will not be making that call. I claim my Father's brother Rollie as a substitute Dad for this year. What I miss most is making those calls on a whim just to bs. The picture is a one shot deal. Up for a day only for the obvious reason. Taken next to the cornfield over two years ago the one I grew up in and my Dad farmed. Dad's name was Paul. NOTE The picture is back and will remain.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE GREAT FATHERS OUT THERE!

Dad is gone-Uncle Rollie's pooch gone-just found out another long time friend gone at 47-a first cousin soon to be gone-Tim Russert bang, gone at 58 my age-Mom's side of the family having a history of being gone just like that.

May not be related to Father's Day but very much value the close and few friendships I have and that includes relationships on the highway of the internets those that are the most informed of all.

Given the fragility of life every once in a while and the importance some put on theirs it's good to put things in perspective now and then. After all none of us are no more than piss ants in time. I love this video.

There are a bunch of other numbers in this piece and they do not add up. Nor does the rest of his political BS he spits out. He makes it clear he hasn't had a day off so take that into consideration too.

I wished I shared the Secretary's optimism but as far as I'm concerned until this is shut off 100% we got squat and that is the simple fact of this disaster at this time.

I'm gonna go see if I can catch a fish in water that is not contaminated with oil.

This is the third time this year to clean the place up. Last year that was the total. Not sure what to make of that. Back at the other place blew snow 13 times and the following year once again three. I thinking two more times yet here.

And it does look better for awhile anyway. We don't spray for the poor man's favorite flower because it's real tough on the birds.

This is what's going on underneath that machine you push or ride around at your place.

We save the real effort to keeping a hundred or so acres of this looking real damn nice. You betcha!

These animals remain a novelty to me and even after today I still do not have any really good pictures of these interesting creatures. I hardly have a decent picture to show you even though I was fairly close and the video isn't something to brag about either.

I saw these guys coming and ducked into some cover thinking they would pass in front for some very close pictures but instead they passed behind me not very far away at all maybe a 100' max. Didn't hear or see them so I got off to a bad start and they cover a lot of ground quickly.

Still want to share these and I will somehow eventually get some quality photos of the fellows.

And that's good as well it should be in an attempt to stop the oil from reaching the shores wherever that may be.

Problem is the gusher has not been stopped and all the tough talk and all the efforts to stop it from reaching shore don't mean diddly squat if the right conditions arise.

Most everything anyone says don't mean shit as long as this poison continues to spill at will into what once was fairly pristine waters.

The tough talk I want to hear from my President is how hard he is going to fight to stop drilling such as this so this can never happen again and how we are going to institute a massive effort as a country to begin the process to alternative energy sources.

We could go on and on here but my heartjust isn't init until the gusher gets a plug stuck in it's ass.

The magnitude of this continues to be downplayed and one does not have to be a marine biologist to understand that this is an ocean killer and possibly much more.

One does not have to be a economist to understand that this may very well be a depression maker too.

A tough speech by Obama tonight will be just that as talking tough changes nothing.

The nature of the business I am in is such that you are encouraged not to take time off during the season which is not during the winter. I've pretty much adhered to that but looking back that was a big mistake. Headed west I'm along for the ride which is fine by me. Will be back home on Monday.

There's a helicopter that's been shot down. There has been 15 US troops killed in the month so far with 29 total.

It seems that times when troops die there are lumping all of them together as "NATO" and not getting to the American until way down the article. Even in the linked to piece here one doesn't know where the dead are from.

Me thinks there maybe a new scam going on here in an attempt to disguise deaths of Americans for awhile so they can be forgotten when the next story comes up.

Or go a mile down and pull your head outta your ass and stick it in the cloud of death spewing non-stop out the broken pipe. Then maybe you will take a different position rather than for instance "Well Cap Captures More Oil" and concentrate on the reality of this disaster you fuckers want to downplay.

You bastards presenting the idea that because some oil is being captured things are much better. My ass!

Whatever the numbers are the amount of oil spewing out of this pipe is huge and will remain so for possibly until the oil runs out. That's the story assholes not that they are getting some of it.

When they get all of it-every single fucking drop or get it completely shut off then and only then does it become a feel good story.

Until that happens the only position whore news people should be taking is what will the ramifications be if it can't be stopped.

I think if people around the country wished to make a statement they easily could do so here.

Why-because dispensaries would contradict with the image they've tried to set for the town.

With a mind set like that which includes some of the richest in the world I can't think of a better reason not to spend a penny in a place like this. I won't.

We have two medical marijuana dispensaries here in ski town USA and no one is getting hurt and the tourists will keep coming.

The image of what people want in this country you simple fucktards is legalization. But no you take the position of the high and mighty and lifestyle of the stupids who have so much more than the rest of us that you feel the need to flaunt that for your own design on what your world should be.

The image you want is not the reality of the world these days and I say people who ski should choose a different destination where the locals who make the decisions are not living in the dark ages of repression and incarceration.

Is not much because it's the real busy time of year but what I got done last night before the chair got me was this post @ the Picture Place. This small 10 acre site contains formations found nowhere else in the world. Here are a couple.

Returned from the hinterland yesterday and when the time came to throw something up wasn't able to do so till this morning. We start at 6AM now so there isn't much time. Here are several pictures and I will have more up at the picture place late today.

Yea I did hear the fat ass pig boy limbo bloviating how every problem humanity faces is the result of you and me and Bama. That's correct.

Of course the gusher is still doing just that and I'm supposed to feel better. BP's big man wants his life back and they are doing all they can and the containment is working nicely you see. But it will be several more days before they will try something else and the locals want the bad to stop right now.

This yahoo over in Israel seems to always be right and shoots first just to be sure. Peace my ass-never ever.

Then I hear one of our Generals say the fight will go on for much longer than anything Obama said was going to happen in Afghanistan and that the Prez was on board with that and you may as well bend over and take it.

I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong? Willie Nelson
